Biological learning and control : how the brain builds representations, predicts events, and makes decisions

Biological learning and control : how the brain builds representations, predicts events, and makes decisions / Reza Shadmehr and Sandro Mussa-Ivaldi.

In this work, the authors present a theoretical framework for understanding the regularity of the brain's perceptions, its reactions to sensory stimuli, and its control of movements.
